Product Description:

Though the Cold War was responsible for decades of suspicion and mistrust between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, it was also responsible for an amazing leap forward in aircraft research, design, and development. The wild blue yonder never looked so exciting!

• Military Aircraft of the Cold War covers each plane in great detail and is filled with over 2,000 illustrations and photos of each plane in action.

• Each spread highlights the fascinating journey from concept and design to combat missions. Photo files, action data, facts and figures, maps, and other innovative graphics bring the action to life!

• Sit behind the controls of a B-52 Strato Fortress! This awesome plane began its service in 1952 and will likely continue to fly until 2040—a tribute to the designers and engineers who developed it.

Very nice and intersting book. A must for all aviation war buffs! by Steven M. Barlow
Really excellent book with interesting format of facts and pictures plus comparisons to other similar aircraft. Unique. A true value and very addictive to read. Includes mostly color photos reproduced in high detail quality! Lots of fun facts and history, really a great book, I plan on getting more in the series. Aircraft (and helicopters) have 2 page gatefold, nice side view and either front or top view paintings, data sheet, and very cool weapons delivery side bar drawings as well as development, stories from Vietnam, Korea, Gulf War etc. Pictures are outstanding and show all types of livery from all over the world including anniversary painted craft, and aerobatic military schemes- very well done. Simply one of the most interesting formats I’ve seen. Buy it, enjoy it and get the rest in the series, I am!
